Major US Travel Company Marketing Guyana as Eco-tourism Destination

Award-winning sustainable travel company Adventure Life has created two new Guyana tours designed for travelers looking to explore the country’s remote rainforests and savannah.

The six-day “Guyana Rainforest” tour offers a quick overview of the rainforests and metropolitan life of the small South American country, while the 10-day “Guyana’s Savannas” tour focuses on the Amazon watershed where remote Guyana rainforest lodges are the base for exploration.

Guyana’s forests and rivers abound with wildlife, including species that are extinct or threatened worldwide. Long celebrated by birders for the incredible variety of bird species, wildlife enthusiasts will be captivated by the red howler monkeys, scarlet macaws, black caimans, and reclusive jaguars.

The English-speaking country has a distinctive Caribbean flavor exhibited in the cuisine, art and language of the indigenous people. Guyana holidays offer a pristine paradise, boasting some of the most extensive contiguous rainforest in the world, and the chance to explore varied landscape from cascading waterfalls to grassy savannahs.

Guyana is a destination with logistical challenges, so using a reputable tour operator can be a major asset and time-saver for travelers.”

The Adventure Life “Guyana’s Savannas” tour is a wonderful holiday for travelers searching for pristine rainforest and abundant wildlife.

The 10-day trip focuses on the “wild” interior in the Amazon watershed where remote lodges like Cara Lodge, a 150-year-old heritage house converted into a comfortable hotel, are the base for exploring the rainforest.

This is the land of giant river otters, jaguars, black caiman, the giant ant eater, and innumerable bird species in an environment still relatively untouched by humans.

Guests explore the Iwokrama Rainforest, a vast wilderness of one million acres in the heart of one of four last untouched tropical forests of the world – The Guiana Shield of North-eastern South America.

The Adventure Life “Guyana Rainforest” tour is a shorter trip designed for travelers who want to experience rainforests, see Kaieteur Falls (the world’s highest free-falling waterfall), visit Surama Village Eco-Lodge which offers a community-based experience in an Amerindian village, and explore Georgetown.
